The molecules in water vapor are subject to precisely the same ordered set of laws as the snowflake. Therefore, how can you say the ordering of the physical laws is what leads to the order in the snowflake.? Why is the water vapor disordered? The same laws apply!

Yes of course, but they apply to different initial and boundary conditions differently. Or so it seems to me.

Nope, it's all hydrogen bonding and gas laws. They apply everywhere.

And I would strongly disagree that the processes that influence the assembly of organic molecules associated with life are qualitatively different than any other chemical system. It's all electronic attractions and repulsions and molecules trying to reach lower energy levels in one form or another. There's plenty of evidence that the creation of complex organic molecules is neither random or particularly difficult.
